ABSTRACT During the recent 46th Global Fund Board Meeting held on 8 to 10 November 2021, the Technical Review Panel updated the Board on its work in 2021 and plans for 2022. TRP reported that it had reviewed and recommended 98% of the allocated funds for the 2020-2022 cycle for funding. It also reported the findings of its assessment of its performance in 2020, its advisory on Global Fund investments in health systems, and a Secretariat-commissioned Advisory by the Office of the Inspector General on its mandate and functioning.
ABSTRACT The Secretariat plans to strengthen the capacity and the voice of “Resilient and Sustainable Systems for Health” in country dialogues, better integrate RSSH into its processes, differentiate and prioritize RSSH investments depending on the country’s development level, increase collaboration with Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, and improve RSSH indicators’ measurement. Those are some of the changes the Secretariat presented at the 41st Board meeting, in response to evaluations and an audit of the Global Fund’s investments in RSSH. The Secretariat remained silent on a couple of other issues.

ABSTRACT This article contains several brief extracts from Part Two of the report of the Technical Review Panel on the funding requests it reviewed in Windows 1 and 2 of the 2017-2019 allocation period.
ABSTRACT At the end of June 2017, the Technical Review Panel (TRP) assessed 54 funding requests submitted to the Global Fund in Window 2 (23 May 2017). Of these requests, 91% were approved for grant-making. The TRP acknowledged the quality of proposals, but noted that community systems strengthening and key populations interventions continue to be under-prioritized or poorly articulated.
ABSTRACT The Technical Review Panel has prepared a report on the funding requests it reviewed in Windows 1 and 2 of the current allocation period. The TRP assessed 72 program continuation requests, 38 tailored requests and 35 full review requests. This article summarizes the TRP’s general observations.
ABSTRACT When they recommended that the Global Fund Board approve two grants emanating from Zimbabwe’s TB/HIV funding request, the Technical Review Panel and the Grant Approvals Committee lauded the strong focus on key populations, and the inclusion of interventions to address barriers related to human rights and gender.
ABSTRACT The two TB/HIV grants to Malawi approved by the Global Fund Board closely reflect the funding request submitted last March. The Technical Review Panel, which reviewed the funding request in April and May, requested only minimal adjustments and clarifications. The grants are heavily oriented towards HIV.
